Contemporary Quilt Group Quilts travel to the USA

The
Exe Valley Contemporary Quilt group are delighted that 2 of our Group
quilts have been selected to travel to the USA for the World Quilt
Competition this year!

Christine
Porter is the British co-ordinator for this international competition
and especially asked if these 2 quilts could be entered.

Quilters
submit photos of their quilts for her initial jurying, then Christine
sends her selection details and photos to Mancuso in America, who
organise the competition and exhibitions -- then they decide the
final entries and our 2 quilts are in the final 39 entries!

They
are 'Fresh' -- our white and green, botanically inspired group quilt
that we made in 2015 (for an image see here) -- and 'Kimono', last year's 2nd prize winner at
the Festival of Quilts (see above). We wish them good luck as they travel to the
States and hope the American quilters enjoy them!

They
will be displayed firstly at the World Quilt Competition at
Manchester, New Hampshire -- Aug. 18--20th.

Then
in September, at the Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza in
Philadelphia; October --the Pacific International Quilt Festival in
San Francisco; --- then World Quilt Florida, Orlando in Jan. '18.
